The Victor has been showing this symptom, but it turned out to be
different from all the other times I have had this problem. Rather than
the cable sticking it was a situation where the cable was set too tight,
with no slack to mention. The pedal action was a bit sticky, so that
would hold the butterfly slightly open. I had been fiddling with this
for a few days when I found out I could restore the low idle by lifting
the pedal with my toe. Some good silicone spray on the pedal pivots and
the wee gubbins on the firewall end of the cable and an added 1/8" slack
in the cable fixed it.
